okay....this could be a long question with a short answer.

I see lots of you lovely Deli owners modding and upgrading, and I wanted a chunky and funky steering wheel. I can see posts where people have ripped out the standard one and bolted in a 3rd party wheel with a boss, but you don’t have an airbag. Hence, my quandary.

Has anyone upgraded a S2 wheel with airbag or am I stuck with the one I have, so only option is to trim it?

Ta v much.

Very good question and I am thinking the same. I don't need to trim mine just don't like it, possibly the only thing I don't like about my Space Gear is related to driver, seating position for 6+ft and steering wheel. Seating will be sorted soon enough with new seat and modified slider but haven't looked into changing steering wheel yet.

I am not sure if any of these would fit our electrical connections and work properly but here are few suggestions

Momo wheel for mitsubishi FTO, Colt mivec, Lancer evo 4 , these have airbags ... no links need just google any of these cars and there are plenty for breaking around UK. Make sure diameter of shaft is the same and count splines/teeth.

Fun Bus.
What car you got  Question

If an air bag was not fitted from new, and you want one, then you will also need a "Collision" sensor.

As fun bus says, he has a series2, with airbag. He just wants a smaller wheel, - with airbag.

If you want a thicker wheel with a nice feel, yet retaining your air air bag go for this.

Daughter bought me a pink fluffy "Princess" wheel cover for my convertible, and fluffy dice. I set off for school with them on, but removed them once around the corner. Embarassed

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Shocked

The feel of the wheel is like a feather boa, a loverly handbrake grip and as for the one you put on your knob, well that is sublime.

Take them off for your MOT though.  Embarassed

Hi guys. Was just wondering if anyone had removed their basic wheel and replaced with something else, more quality.

Like the fluffy cover, but how can I put this......it’s not the look I was after.

Failing that, I’ll slap on a wheel cover, but not a 38cm one as the blooming thing won’t fit. 😡

I also went for a cheap option and bought this suede momo style wheel which turned out to be really good, nice feel, nice size and with a contoured grip - it came with an adaptor and a horn button too.

I did a write up on how the take off the old one and replace with new, but can’t find it. Rolling Eyes
